Gray Water Treatment Systems
Gray water is the part of domestic wastewater that does not
contain toilet water. In other words, it is wastewater from the shower, sink,
bathtub and kitchen. It consists of substances such as detergent, shampoo,
dishwater, hair and fabric particles. The process of purifying domestic
wastewater, excluding toilet water, from showers, sinks and bathtubs for reuse
is called gray water treatment. Water discharged from laundries can be recycled
by adding it to gray water.
By purifying gray water, water that is not of drinking water quality can be
obtained for domestic purposes. Water recycled through gray water treatment
systems is used in toilets, general cleaning works and garden irrigation. The
purpose of recycling gray water is to use gray water as domestic water instead
of using drinking water in places where the water we use as drinking water is
not needed. Gray water can be purified and used as domestic or irrigation water.
Gray water is purified and generally used in garden irrigation, toilet and
general cleaning works. By purifying this water, both waste water in facilities
and homes is reduced and mains water consumption is reduced. Thus, water
consumption costs resulting from water use are also reduced.
What are the Advantages of Gray Water Purification System?
1. Reducing the use of mains water.
2. Reducing domestic water costs in places where sink usage is high, such as
hotels, social facilities and schools.
3. Protection of our natural resources.
4. Gray Water is a valuable water resource in places where water resources are
scarce.
